Etymology
The word 'gravy' originated from Old French 'grane' which meant 'something wanted or needed'. It evolved to 'gravye' in Middle English, referring to the sauce made from juices of cooked meat. The culinary term has been in use since the 14th century. The slang meaning of 'money' or 'financial gain' likely comes from the idea of gravy being an extra or bonus addition to a meal.
